Small rocky headland north of Leça produces a punchy peeling peak on its north side; needs a clean NW swell to work well.

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Angeiras, Aterro (Leça), Cabedelo do Douro, Canide (Canidelo), Carneiro, Homem do Leme, Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, Pedras do Corgo, Praia da Madalena. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
